Where, oh where, is Jerry Han?

Jerry Han and his invaluable FT archives seem to have vanished. This is a
tragedy (especially as it was the medium through which I was following this
news group).

Has he moved?

AFAIK he is/can stilll produce the archive but hasn't got anywhere to
put it YET.

If we used a majordomo listserver we could have a digest.

Jerry is alive and well and still out there in the world. But yes, he is in a
state of fluxx (er, flux) and the resources he has available to him are
limited at this time (no telling whether this will improve or not in the near
future, but he's not holding his breath). He is still collecting posts, and I
think will continue to do so until either 1) his current system resources fill
up, or 2) someone else takes over the archive job (not an undaunting task in
and of itself).

Personal email contact to Jerry should be directed to:

Gee, everybody talking about me.  (8-)

I'm glad somebody read the archives; sometimes I wondered what was going on
with them.

Alright, here are my future plans, and a brief description of my situation:

1) The archives are intact and sitting on my computer at home. Furthermore,
I'm still archiving messages, so I've only lost one day when my mail account
died for no apparently good reason, back in August.

2) I've managed to arrange for a 10 megabyte WWW site from my
ISP (http://www.idigital.net/jhan)  So far, all it has is an
out-of-date bookmark file; I plan to correct that in the next week
or so.

However, because of the rather small size (my previous place had effectively
unlimited), I'm only going to have about four months
on-line as opposed to the year and a half I had earlier.  I'll
keep the rest, but they'll have to be sent out on special request. I'll
probably keep the Index files about.

Also, because of the lack of space, I'm just going to archive the original
mail folders in a flat text format i.e. drop the edited version formatted for
plain reading without mail headers.
This means that if  you have access to UNIX-style mailers, you're happy,
and if you're using Netscape or IE, you maybe in trouble. I haven't figured
out yet how to get Netscape or IE to import a flat text file, though I have
figured out how to get them to export a
flat text file, which is good.  (8-)

That's the long/short of it.  Work is pretty crazy right now,
but I MAY (emphasis on MAY) have something up by tonight. If not, things
should get better over the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for your patience, everybody.
